Happy new year all.

I noticed under a major service check list.. they apply some sort of lubrication to the sunroof seal...

im not sure the previous owner checked or made sure this was done...

can anyone provide me with more information on what lubication to use and what part of the seal we lubricate.. with the weather conditions we have at mo.. i prefer to get this sorted asap//

thanks guys

Not sure on Lexus main dealer approach to this but personally, over the years, once the working mechanism of the electric roof is lubed with light oil or WD40, I have used a petroleum jelly solution (or Vaseline) to coat around the felt weather seal around the sunroof, this i have found is ideal for keeping the green algae away and preserving the seal by keeping all manor of british weather from degrading it.

I use an aerosol for rubber lubrication from Halfords, made by Holts, and it's very good. Use it on the door seals too. http://www.wilcodirect.co.uk/index.php?mai...roducts_id=1208

The Holts rubber and nylon lubricant is exactly that, a silicone spray. :)

* A non-staining silicone spray, for lubricating and protecting rubber and nylon surfaces

* Protects against hardening and cracking

* Unaffected by extremes of temperature.

I use it on the seal to the glass, but haven't really thought about using it on the guide channels. No reason not to, and probably a good idea.
